Chapter 3 Don't give face! (3.17 Guarantee 2)

Chapter 3 Don’t give me shame!

The earthquake in Barcelona caused a sensation in the entire European football world. Rossell hired "brutal Simon" to begin to abandon tradition and pursue only achievements, which attracted the self-righteous and arrogant godfather in Barcelona to speak out.

Now the 71-year-old Dutch man can't control his mouth anymore. He made his voice through the media: "The club bought a world number one star like Shaq, which can indeed prove our ambitions, but the ability of Simon Grayson, the head coach, is still questionable, especially his cruel and rude cleaning up the old members of the team, will make old fans even more sad. I would like to reserve this."

Barcelona is like opening a supermarket this summer. Messi, Pedro, Kompani, Iniesta, Mascherano and other famous stars have all been cleaned up. Even Gerald Pique, who is now 31 years old and has served as the team captain since the retirement of the old captain Puyol, has also been thrown into the transfer list. The "brutal Simon" approach really makes many people both sad and angry.

However, Cruyff obviously did not stand up for the aging stars in recent years. He was mainly because of his decline in influence on Barcelona. The Lamacia youth training camp was founded by him and has affected Barcelona for decades. However, with the joining of Shaq, Ganso, Krissetig, Rivero, Ben Parker, Kobar, Mark, Ayu, Batista, Salavevi and other stars, the Lamacia youth training camp is the situation of Barcelona's solid foundation being broken. Barcelona seems to be on a route to the development of Real Madrid.

When Cruyff bombarded Simon Grayson, the "brutal Simon" had no time to talk to this old guy. He had to seize the time to make the team familiar with his tactics, but his subordinates stopped doing it.

First of all, Shaq, a boy with the hat of "King of Ball", stood up. He said to the media: "We all know what Barcelona is doing in the European arena in recent years. I can't think of anything worse than this, so the facts have proved that Barcelona needs to make changes, and I came here to help this team with a glorious tradition to regain its glory! Someone said, how good is Simon's coaching ability, I want to ask. One led two club teams to win a lot of championships, and led England to win the Federation Cup and the World Cup. Does such a head coach need others to point fingers at him? Or, who is qualified to point fingers at him? Who? Cruyff, is it you? You, a ten thousand-year-old second, have a bullshit qualification? Who gave you the right to point fingers!?"

Shaq's first firing at Cruyff caused an uproar. Everyone knows Shaq is indeed the only "King of Football" in the world today. He has scored 132 goals for Leeds United in his career. He has scored 436 goals for Manchester United in four years and scored 152 goals for the England national team. But Shaq is not yet 26 years old, but he has already won all the honors that a football player can get... Of course not all, but he has obtained the most substantial honors.

Although Cruyff also has capital and qualifications, he can also compare with whom he scores. Compared with Bailey and Maradona, he is still far from what Shaq is now. What's more, Shaq is not fighting alone...

Shaq's good brother Ben Parker also stood up and spoke: "Cruyff's era has long passed. Is he eighty years old now? Are you tired of jumping out and pointing fingers? Be careful to dodge your waist! Hahaha!"

Rivero also stood up and spoke to his mentor: "Simon is the best head coach I have ever met. I have made great progress in the three years of playing football at Manchester United. Now I have followed Simon to Barcelona. I believe that if Barcelona wants to become the best team in the world again, they must follow Simon's plan. He is the godfather of the championship and knows more about modern football than those old guys who have never given any honor in their lifetime."

There are many people in this world who can't stand Cruyff, and Maradona also jumped out to help Simon Grayson talk: "The era of Cruyff has long passed, which is what we all know, but I never expected that he would have Alzheimer's disease so early. I really can't figure it out. What qualifications are a person who has never won a world championship to talk to the world champion coach and the best players in the world! Has the world changed? All losers can guide the successful ones!?"

Although Ganso, Krissetig, Mark, Batista and others are as heavy as Shaq and the others, their relationship with Simon Grayson is not so strong, they still stand up to speak for their head coach. Their group of people who come to Barcelona are not acting. They are just to create greater glory with Simon Grayson, or like Mark, Ayu, Batista, Sharawi and others, they also want to win several championships in their careers, and all this obviously requires Simon Grayson and Shaq as the basis.

Faced with a group of people with enough weight, Cruyff was powerless to fight back, especially Shaq and Maradona, who are the two recognized kings of football in the world. He really couldn't compete with these two.

However, Cruyff would not be left alone, and he began to lead the war to the other side: "Fans, think about the young men like Leonel, Andres, Gerrard, Javier, Alex. They have given everything to the team, but in the end they have suffered such unfair treatment and were cleaned out by the new head coach. This is simply a shame for us Barcelona. The players we trained ourselves have been driven away after contributing everything to the club and turned homeless. This is absolutely inhumane practice!"

I have to say that Messi, Iniesta, Pique, Mascherano, Sanchez, Pedro and others still have a lot of supporters. When Cruyff uses a few stars to talk about it, many of Barcelona's many fans began to miss it.

Seeing that there were signs of division between the fans' organizations, Rossell finally couldn't bear the pressure and found Simon Grayson and asked him to calm the matter down, but Rossell did not expect that Simon Grayson is no longer the cautious coach at the time. Now the "brutal Simon" is the best football coach in the world.

Simon Grayson held a press conference and said coolly to countless reporters: "First of all, I am very dissatisfied with the actions of Cruyff, the predecessor of Cruyff... As a pioneer of Barcelona football, Cruyff has never put the development and unity of the team in a relatively important position. What he said makes me doubt his feelings for Barcelona. As many people say, Cruyff is a typical example of disrespect for the old."

"Secondly, I sold some players, not because of their feelings for the team, nor because of their lack of personal abilities, but because they are not suitable for my tactical needs. Since I came to Barcelona as the head coach, only I will be responsible for the team's performance. If the team's performance is not good, I will become a sinner. So I need some players who I think can help the team achieve good results, such as Shaq, Ben, Ganso, Mark, Rivero, etc. They are all champion players, and I believe they will succeed here!"

"Finally, please think about some fans who are emotionally provoked by some people with ulterior motives. What do you want? If you want the team's results, then... two years! I only need two years, and I promise to bring back the Champions League trophy for the club! If not...hehe, I am not as thick-skinned as some people, and I don't even understand the principle of not being in the position or not doing things. If I can't let Barcelona become the European champion again within two years, I will resign! Now, let's ask fans and friends to wait quietly to see the team's performance in the new season!"

Simon Grayson's words made the reporters stunned. Who would have thought that "the brutal Simon" was so sharp. He didn't say a soft word from beginning to end, and forced Cruyff to make everyone understand that it was just because he was Barcelona's head coach, the new "King of Football" Shaq, Ben Parker, Ganso and other champions would come to the Camp Nou Stadium, and most importantly... Simon Grayson's words hit the weakness in the hearts of the Lamacians.

What does Barcelona need most now!?

Not traditional!

Not the direct lineage of Lamacia!

But...champion, trophy, honor!

In the past few years, Barcelona has been relatively competitive in the league. In the past four years, they have won two league championships, but they are not good at the Champions League. In four years, they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. In the other three years, they have been eliminated after qualifying in the group and entering the semi-finals of 16.

In addition, in the past few years, what Barcelona lacks most now is the Champions League trophy, and Simon Grayson is obviously the best candidate in this regard. He led Leeds United and Manchester United teams to win the Champions League for three consecutive years. Although he later went to coach the "Three Lions", the Champions League seems to be under the rule of "brutal Simon". Manchester United and Leeds United took turns to win a Champions League trophy, and Manchester United even completed an incredible three-game winning streak in the Champions League.

Now... Simon Grayson has become Barcelona's head coach. Does this mean that Barcelona will win the Champions League trophy and have the opportunity to win three consecutive championships like the "Red Devils" and even become a great existence like the "Six-Crown King" again!?
